The Mysterious Disappearance of Dumfries Dentist Phil Macavity

The quaint town of Dumfries is in shock as beloved dentist Phil Macavity has suddenly vanished. His lifeless body was found under the Old Bridge, but the circumstances surrounding his death are murky. Local police suspect foul play, and Chief Inspector Jason De Villan has been tirelessly investigating the case. But despite interrogating several disgruntled patients, the Chief is no closer to solving the crime.

However, it seems that Phil may have left behind a series of clues before his untimely demise. Can YOU follow the trail and uncover the truth about what happened to Dumfries' favourite dentist?

A Detective Mystery Through Dumfries

Join the investigation on this self-guided detective mystery themed Treasure Trail through Dumfries. Starting at Whitesands, you'll follow the route through Bank Street, past the iconic Midsteeple, and onto Queensberry Square and Street. From there, you'll explore Burns Statue, Globe Inn, Burns Street, St Michaels Church, Suspension Brae, Dumfries Museum and Camera Obscura, Robert Burns Centre, and finally, the Old Bridge before returning to Whitesands.

Keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. Can YOU use your detective skills to eliminate suspects and solve the mystery?
